An Immune-Inspired Approach to Speckled Computing (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davoudani, D., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2007, August). An Immune-Inspired Approach to Speckled Computing. Presented at International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems ICARIS 2007, Beijing, China

Speckled Computing offers a radically new concept in information technology that has the potential to revolutionise the way we communicate and exchange information. Specks — minute, autonomous, semi-conductor grains that can sense and compute locally... Read More about An Immune-Inspired Approach to Speckled Computing.

Introducing the Companions project: intelligent, persistent, personalised interfaces to the internet. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benyon, D., & Mival, O. (2007). Introducing the Companions project: intelligent, persistent, personalised interfaces to the internet. In Proceedings of the 21st British HCI Group Annual Conference HCI 07 (193-194)

The Companions project is a 4 year, EU funded Framework Programme 6 project involving a consortium of 16 partners across 8 countries. Its aim is to develop a personalised conversational interface, one that knows and understands its owner, and can...

People and Computers XXI - HCI… but not as we know it. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
(2007). People and Computers XXI - HCI… but not as we know it. In L. J. Ball, M. A. Sasse, C. Sas, T. Ormerod, A. Dix, P. Bagnall, & T. McEwan (Eds.), People and Computers XXI - HCI… but not as we know it

At first sight the two themes of this year’s People and Computers volumes seem to send conflicting messages. On the one hand, “Happy 21st” suggests that British HCI as a discipline has much to celebrate, having grown from its inception at the 1985...

Listening, corporeality and presence (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., Turner, S., & McGregor, I. (2007). Listening, corporeality and presence. In PRESENCE 2007: The 10th Annual International Workshop on Presence (43-49)

The use of sound to create or enhance the sense of presence is well recognized and the measurements of which have focused on hearing, e.g. “were you able to identify a particular sound?”, “how well could you localize the sounds”. To this treatment of... Read More about Listening, corporeality and presence.

ALT text and basic accessibility (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, T., & Weerts, B. (2007). ALT text and basic accessibility. In D. Ramduny-Ellis, & D. Rachovides (Eds.), People and computers XXI : HCI-- but not as we know it : proceedings of HCI 2007, the 21st British HCI Group Annual Conference (1-4)

Recent surveys have shown that the majority of websites are not accessible. Despite legal obligations and the importance of the internet for disabled people, most websites fail to reach a basic level of accessibility, yet web developers are not short...

A conference panel - but not as we know it! (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, T., England, D., O'Neill, E., Bryan-Kinns, N., & Finlay, J. (2007, September). A conference panel - but not as we know it!. Presented at 21st British HCI Group Annual Conference

This panel will take the form of a public debate about whether the conference of which it forms part has a future. Academic conferences are increasingly hard to cost-justify and growing awareness of the environmental impact adds to the negative aspec...

An advantage of chaotic neural dynamics (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P., & Lycett, S. (2007). An advantage of chaotic neural dynamics. In 2007 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (1417-1422). https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.2007.4371166

One hypothesis about how biological neural systems work suggests that they use attractor dynamics to define their behaviour. Such behaviour can be modelled using recurrent neural network models. It has been shown that such systems can perform a wide... Read More about An advantage of chaotic neural dynamics.
